About this ebook
Anticipating her wedding vows and then breaking off the engagement has left Kate Montague's social status in tatters. She hides the hurt of her family's disapproval behind a resolutely optimistic façade, but one thing really bothers her. For a fallen woman, Kate knows shockingly little about passion!
Could Virgil Jackson be the man to teach her? A freed slave turned successful businessman, his striking good looks and lethally restrained power throw normally composed Kate into a tailspin! She's already scandalised society, but succumbing to her craving for Virgil would be the most outrageous thing Kate's done by far…

Reviews for The Lady Who Broke The Rules
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A Regency-era interracial romance? Sounds intriguing, but ultimately I was disappointed in this book. The hero is an amazing man who worked his way out of bondage and has become a wealthy businessman in Boston. The heroine is the daughter of a duke, whose reputation has been ruined. She is also a free-thinking abolitionist. She meets Virgil when he is in England meeting with that country's leading abolitionists. The attraction is strong and immediate, but . . . .
In HR, there's always a "but . . . . " Here, you would expect all sorts of complications relating to racial differences; even abolitionists didn't 'want their daughters to marry one.' This topic, however, is barely mentioned, and ultimately the story is not much different from what it would have been if Virgil was a white American businessman wanting to carry off a duke's daughter to America.
